Much has happened since I last wrote. I've learned a lot about HIV, written a questionnaire to identify the ways in which HIV-positive patients and doctors are stigmatized in Ugandan hospitals, visited the source of the Nile, hiked to the Sipi waterfalls, been told on the buffet line at Plate Cafe that I'm "eating like an African" (read: eating sumptuously with hefty, starch-heavy servings) and experienced several day-long, city-wide power outages ... which accounts for the lull in activity on this blog ... writing in the dark on a juiceless laptop is quite challenging ...
I also visited Uganda's Jewish community -- the Abayudaya (Lugandan for Children of Judah)-- to attend the installation ceremony of its first rabbi. I also spent Shabbat with them, which was pretty magical. Check out my article about the Abayudaya which was published in this past week's Jewish Forward.

Jordan,
I've just taken a little while to catch up with you, enjoying your wonderful blog. I feel so incredibly lucky to learn about life in Uganda from you. Thank you for taking the time and effort in what must be challenging circumstances to report, interpret and understand your adventure for all of us stick-in-the muds back here in our luxurious, ignorant lives. Continue to thrive and stay well and safe. xoxo Sharron
